Recipe: Marvelous mushrooms (Allison Carter)

Marvelous Mushrooms

1 pound fresh mushrooms
1/3 cup soft butter
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch of cayenne
Pinch of nutmeg
1½ tablespoons flour
1 cup heavy cream

Wash mushrooms. Cream together the butter, parsley, onion, mustard, salt, cayenne, nutmeg, and flour. Place mushrooms in a 1 quart casserole dish. Dot with the butter mixture and pour on the heavy cream. Bake uncovered in a 375 degree oven for about an hour. Stir two-three times during baking.

Serve with meats or roast. Serves four to six.

Note: doubling the recipe requires only a moderate increase in the amount of heavy cream.
